Biography
Lochlan was born into a family of Scottish nobles, and he became the owner of vast estates in both Scotland and England. In 1297, Lochlan, Mornay, and Craig raised forces to fight against England during the Wars of Scottish Independence, although they sought to negotiate with the English rather than fight. At the Battle of Stirling Bridge, Lochlan was offered estates in Yorkshire if he disbanded his troops and returned home, but William Wallace was intent on fighting, and he insulted the English commander Hugh de Cressingham into fighting the Scots. Lochlan fought in the battle, but he would continue to support a compromise with the English, and he betrayed the Scots at the Battle of Falkirk in exchange for a small bribe. Lochlan and Mornay led their cavalry off the battlefield, abandoning the Scottish soldiers as they were slaughtered. Wallace later avenged this betrayal by killing Mornay in his bedroom and by killing Lochlan at his castle. As Craig and Robert Bruce ate dinner one night, Wallace threw Lochlan's body down several floors, and it landed on the dinner table, shocking the pro-English nobles.
